First published in 1990, this book analyses social welfare in Latin
America, at that time. For each country it considers the
ideological framework underlying the social welfare system and
describes the historical development of both the system and the
political and socio-economic context. Each chapter looks at the
structure and administration of the systems in place and how these
are financed. This is followed by a consideration of the nature of
different parts of the welfare system, a survey of social security,
personal social services and the treatment of the following key
target groups: the aged; those with disabilities and handicaps;
children and youth; disadvantaged families; the unemployed; and the
sick and injured. Each chapter concludes with an assessment of the
effectiveness of the system considered.
